Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III. THE IMPLEMENTS. The implements used at the game of Billiards are balls, cues, butts, and rests. There are also several accessories, such as marking-boards, tips, chalk, &c. The balls should be made of well-seasoned ivory, cut from the point of the small tusk of the Asiatic elephant. The best balls are cut from the smallest tusks that will just hold the size of the ball, as the ivory in these tusks is very dense and pretty equal in density throughout. The balls should be so cut that the centre or worm of the tooth runs through the centre of the ball, otherwise the ball is likely to be biassed, i.e., to be heavier on one side than on the other. The balls should be turned perfect spheres, of a diameter of 2 in. A full-sized ball should weigh about 4 oz.; but this precise weight cannot be guaranteed. The exact weight is not of much consequence, provided all the balls belonging to the same billiard set are of the same weight. Billiard-balls, however well seasoned, are apt to be affected by change of temperature from that in which they have been seasoned, more particularly by sudden change. It is advisable to keep new balls exposed for a few days in the billiard-room before using them, otherwise they are liable to crack. Special care should be taken not to leave them in a damp place, nor in a hot one, as on a mantelpiece, or in a pocket near a fire. In hot climates balls should be placed in a box of bran, and so exposed for weeks before using them, and kept in bran when not in use. The balls used at English Billiards are three in number. They are distinguished from each other thus: one ball is coloured red; the other two are white, but one of the white balls has a black spot on it, and is called the spot-white. In the following...
